a point of departure,
Artists in a Fishbowlallows
a peek into what goes on inside the artists' studio by means of
arcane carnival trickery and contemporary technology. Submerged
within a fishbowl is a sea shell, inside of which is the
miniaturized studio of WeSee Inc. Sometimes dark and quiet but
often the lights come on and the underwater studio comes alive with
aquatic artistic activity. Often as not the physicality of creative
functions is interrupted by pauses for critical thinking; the
scratching of tiny heads; tiny coffee breaks; occasional
interruptions by tiny aqua-cats; and the various other mundanities
that tiny submerged artists do in their daily lives.
